    I happened to find myself at a Robbie Williams concert once, when a friend of mine got sick on the night of the show, and she offered me her ticket. So there I am, not even a big fan, and it was easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to. He's just an amazing entertainer with an unreal connection to the crowd and a bunch of great songs.

I just saw him a few weeks ago, for his 2 show at Sandringham. He is the ultimate showman, songwriter, performer.. The US missed out. But now he can live in NY and not get mobbed. He is fucking Amazing!!!!!!!n xoxo

  • @KathyD-24601
    @KathyD-24601 Před 10 měsíci +12

    You are right that this song means different things to people at different seasons of their lives - in fact it is know for being played at ‘hatches, matches and dispatches’ I.e. Christenings, Weddings and funerals.
    Rob has said most recently that this song is about literal angels - he was raised Catholic, and the Archangel Michael was a protective figure in his family. But that’s not the story that was put out when the song was new - it was variously supposed to be about his mother, his aunt and uncle who had passed away, or just the idea that loved ones watch over you after they have passed. But then UK popular culture is very secular so an explicitly religion-themed song rarely goes down well.
    I suspect it’s a bit of all the above - really I think it’s about the idea of having faith, of choosing to believe in love instead of giving in to despair at times of crisis.
    It’s got a particular resonance because Robbie was mired in alcohol and drug addiction and looked like he was heading towards an early grave at the point when he wrote it. His career was stalling - he had left a big boyband declaring that he wanted to be a solo artist who wrote his own music, but he’d spent a year partying and not come up with anything really. He literally recorded the original vocal just before going to rehab.
    He was about to be dropped by the record label but they gave him one last chance by releasing this song, which became a huge sleeper hit and turned his career around.
    So it’s a song about keeping faith in despair and believing that you will be protected and loved even when you are a mess, written and recorded at a point when he was a mess, released at the point of career-despair as an act of faith, and it actually was his salvation. It’s like he sung his own redemption into being when he created this song.

    Robbie sung this at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia opening ceremony. The song was huge all over the world, he was a special guest for Taylor Swift when she played Wembley Stadium the same year singing this. He may not be the most gifted vocalists but as an out and out entertainer he is quality. You should check out his live performances from the “Swing when you’re winning “ album.

His second album, I've Been Expecting You, featured the songs "Millennium" and "She's the One", his first number one singles. His discography includes seven UK No. 1 singles, and all but one of his 14 studio albums have reached No. 1 in the UK. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the UK, with two of them in the top 60, and he gained a Guinness World Record in 2006 for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day during his Close Encounters Tour.[1]
    Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artist four times, Outstanding Contribution to Music twice, an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards.[2][3] In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s.

    So lovely, your reaction. He wrote these lyrics just after coming out of rehab, and potential suicide. He is talking about three - fold salvation - instead of father, son and holy spirit, he is talking about mother, daughter and holy spirit. His connection with a an angelic She - a spiritual twin flame, , his own mother and someone in his life who is offering him salvation. He knows he will always be blessed with love, because he is someone's son, someone's spiritual charge and someone's "lover". It's a very beautiful song.

      Considering the song was originally written by Ray Heffernan who Robbie paid 7500 pounds to to denounce all rights to the song, its probably not about Robbie or his family at all.

    originaly song is about girl which had cancer and shes father wrote song about her fight. Robbie took song and change it so that it is about all situation like this not about specific person. you should react on whole that concert. that was epic apearence. And that comes from someon who isnt hes fan. You can start with "come undone" from knebworth.

    It was never big in the States. It was HUGE in the UK. Robbie said that at that time of his life, he was into the paranormal. He says it was about the "thoughts that loved ones that have passed on come back and take care of you". A great song. I'm surprised we hadn't heard more of it before. As for Knebworth, it is a yearly festival that has been happening for years and is held on the grounds of the Knebworth House in Knebworth, England.

    Knebworth is about forty miles from London in the English countryside. I saw Pink Floyd there back in the 1970s, so it's been a musical venue for many years. This song was a massive hit for Robbie here in the UK in 1997 and stayed in the charts for a few months. But neither Robbie, nor the group he was originally a member of (Take That), ever made it big in the USA. I think the meaning of the song is about loved ones who have died but come back to look after you in the form of angels, giving unconditional love ("whether I'm right or wrong"), and helping you through difficult times (such as when 'love is dead'). I think the 'she' in the song might be his beloved aunt who had passed on, but whose memory helped him when he was dealing with his demons, broken relationships and addictions.
    "So when I'm lying in my bed
    Thoughts running through my head
    And I feel that love is dead
    I'm loving angels instead".

    I believe there were somewhere in the vicinity of 370,000 ppl there. Be sure to watch all the songs from the Knebworth concert 2003, which, yes, I believe is in England. During one song at the end he tears up with emotion. It's quite a show.

    Knebworth is a country estate north of London which has hosted festivals going back to the early '70's. I've been to three, headlined by The Allman Brothers Band, Pink Floyd and Genesis respectively. It's a natural bowl and a perfect venue.

    Like with a lot of music, or art.... the artist may have meant something specific when writing the lyrics. Maybe they were just trying to sound good and put words together. It doesn't matter. The experience of the listener can be whatever it is to you. I don't try to over-analyze the original intentions of songs any more. I do try to analyze what they mean to me, how they make me feel. And those feelings change over time. This is just a classic song no matter how you look at it.And this performance is just wow. Robbie Williams is a fun rabbit hole to go down, as an American. I feel like we missed out so much.

    In Knebworth, UK, he played in front of 375.000 people, while 3.5 Million were joining the party on the tv and radio .... as far as I know, only his concert at Leeds (UK) was bigger!
